Competition Private vs. Government
Pic by shorrbrad
Any time there is a prohibition against a government entity from entering into a business sector it reminds me of self dealing. This prohibition is not like those patents that provide for so many years without competition to allow for a business to cover their costs of bringing to market the product.
A fundamental right for communities to have access to affordable electricity, cable, Internet, and phone should automatically require the abolishing nationwide of any law that prevents local governments or cooperatives from building an infrastructure when the private sector will not.
If Congress is serious about creating opportunities for growth then it will take the hand cuffs off any entity that can create that opportunity.
